F1 viewership has plunged since move from ESPN to Apple TV

Reply in thread

Not a single example? F1 drove massive advancement in carbon fiber construction for cars, light-weight mono-body frames, turbo development which is how basically every ICE car meets emission standards, regenerative braking tech, composite material development - it's a pretty long list and F1 ends up being the development and proving grounds before manufacturers invest.

Hell, my car literally uses an aluminum monotub chassis directly inspired by F1.

There are a lot of faults with the FIA and the decision to spread races out all over the world including some very questionable countries and sponsors but that speaks to the business side and not the technology and engineering which has been quite impactful

It also doesn't matter where it "started", F1 invested heavily in advancing these technologies before they became available in commuter cars and the tech either would have been delayed or never brought to the consumer market without that investment by F1. I'm hoping we see the same thing with FormulaE and electric vehicle technology though I think they need to scale back the regs and give producers more leeway to experiment there

Christian metal band sues netflix because google won't show them anymore.

Did you read the article? They are now doing a live tour of KPop Demon Hunter" and they have at least one example of there being confusion in the market. AEG and Netflix could have promoted the tour as HUNTR/X: KPop Demon Hunters or something to avoid this. I suspect there will be a settlement as just because there was no confusion when it was just a movie doesn't mean they can go into live concerts with the same name.

Ex Red Hat CEO is now the interim CEO of Unity

Hmmm, we have a company who's success has been largely due to it's large network of developers and the outgoing CEO tried to destroy that community.... Who should replace them? Oh, I know, someone who took another company who's success was based on a large network of developers and successfully killed that community

Not having an insta isn't weird or what turned her off - being fucking creepy and weird about it then lying is what turned her off... Jesus

Being active on a social network is not the same as having a social life - meet people, make friends, and make an effort to reach out to them. THAT's having a social life

The problem is that he was never funny. Went to see him in Atlanta one summer when he first started getting big. He informed us that he was filming his Christmas special soon and needed to practice so we got 90 minutes of Christmas jokes while it was 100° and 90% humidity outside and the one time an audience member made a well timed heckle (and it was non-disruptive) he paused the whole show and berated the audience, calling us all rude.
